Obama needs to make a campaign ad about this.

I would rather an action committee or something of that extent make an ad of this. I don't want to see Obama go negative.

This might be interesting without the "in court" bit.

I have to agree that while this certainly sounds bad, it was her job at the time. She was a court appointed lawyer for the defense, and it was her duty to give the defendant the best defense she possibly could. Sure, there might have been a better way to handle it, but I don't know enough about the case to suggest one.

Besides, people CHANGE. Attacking someone for what they did over 30 years ago is a tad ridiculous. People make mistakes. I suspect the vast majority of the people here, if put in the exact same situation would have done the same. It's easy to judge others and Clinton is getting way too much negative coverage.

"A tad"? This thread is just ridiculous hackishness.

Some people never change.  Has Hillary ever admitted a mistake?  If she did just once then maybe people would cut her some slack

30 years ago Hillary was a COURT-APPOINTED defense lawyer who questioned the credibility of her client's accuser who happened to be a 12 y/o girl.

BRTD clearly feels she did wrong.

So ... what BRTD is saying is that if you are accused of rape you don't deserve to have your accuser's credibility questioned.  Goodness knows there has NEVER been a FALSE rape accusation.

Well, I meant in a general sense. This particular thread was ridiiculous for other reasons too of course.
